You have to be more specific: there are {} displays and dict(args) call
and other methods. Read the manual.
My desire is to take a set of data items in an alpha-numeric range and
oput them into a dictionary
i.e.,
x1=1
x2=20
x3=33
to yield the dictionary
{ 'x1':1, 'x2':20, 'x3':33 }
without having to type in as above but instead invoke a function
dict(x1=1, x2=20, x3=33) does the same thing.
Or, do you mean you already have those names and values, perhaps mixed
with a lot more names, and want to extract only those starting with "x"
and following with a number?
result = {}
for name, value in vars(): # or locals().items(), or globals().items(), or
vars(some_module)
if name[0]=='x' and name[1:].isdigit():
result[name] = value
